Recently, I interviewed Dr. Walter Block, author of Defending the Undefendable, and Privatization of Roads and Highways. Dr. Block and I discussed anarchism, strategy, and whether an anarchist can be truly happy while living among the state.
I have published a collection of my essays in book form. Some of them have been published here, but most have been re-edited or extensively re-written.
From the description on Amazon.com:
“The essays contained in this volume were the result of many years of intensive...
Dr. Murphy and I discussed a broad range of topics including the “liberty movement”, how it has changed over time, the prospects for liberty, the process by which the state might be dismantled, what liberty minded people should do to help that happen (and some of the challenges), and the...

Chris and I discussed a variety of topics, including his personal ideological development, the psychology of statism, the libertarian/anarchist community in Zurich, the impact of the European integration project on liberty, and where the liberty movement is going.
